Every now and again I like to post an unusual project – for inspiration – and just for fun! This is one of those times. I think this is a kids’ helmet, but it could be for an adult. If you know me, you know that this 32-year-old would wear a helmet decoupaged with polka dots. What can I say, I like to ride in style!
A project like this is very easy. Don’t be intimidated by the curves. Simply take each piece of paper one at a time, smoothing as you go. Don’t cover the entire surface in Mod Podge first or by the time you get to the end you’ll be working on a dry surface – apply as you go for the best results!
Blogger who loves the color blue and sock monkeys. You can find me in public easily— I'm wearing glasses and lots of stripes.
i love your helmet. i am curious if you sealed it with anything after you were done mod podging? does it stay on well?
i did these at a helmet painting party with fingernail polish and glitter glue. the photos of the actualy helmets are just the test copies. http://countrystarr.com/photos/helmetparty08.htm
now i wanna try some mod podge! thanks! beth
Hi Beth! I didn’t do this project. . BUT. . . I can tell you that if I were doing a bike helmet, I would seal the project with an outdoor sealer. That way it would be impervious to the elements.
And yes, it would all stay on very well.
OMG – LOVE the helmet decorating party! That is awesome. You know what would look great on the black helmets? Glitter Mod Podge! Either silver or gold. Check it out here: http://www.plaidonline.com/productDetail.asp?itemID=CS11276
